clear corners...bump or no bump?

So I have a 2005 g35 MT Lakeshore slate and I really want to do the clear corners. I just have a couple questions:

what is JDM? I saw a couple on ebay that says "JDM", are they the preferred ones to buy?

what looks better, bump or no bump?

also, what is the installation like?

Thanks for your feedback.

Easiest thing to install on this car is this mod. The bump model was discontinued I believe, not 100% sure about that. It has a small bump so that its easier to see from the front and side.

the model without the bump was discontinued actually and a lot harder to find..you can purchase the ones with the bump just about everywhere

I knew one of them was but wasn't sure. Got mine in 09 so I haven't really been looking.

^^Exactly. Flat style is discontinued, "BUMP" style is the only one available now.

The installation is literally puling the old ones off (using your hands or a flathead screwdriver -wrap the end in cloth not to damage your paint-), removing the wire harness from the back, and then plugging the wires into the new side marker and pushing it back in place. Maybe 1 min per side.

As for style, it's entirely up to you. Do you want it perfectly flat? Do you want it to have a bump?

And I haven't looked recently what's harder to find, but people above me are saying the flat ones.

Go with the non-bump since they look cleaner IMO. Installation and removal is way too easy, whichever ones you install be sure to rig them so they don't disappear too easily.
